ISgf* The !Mke Count]; llnuomt hue the Ur»est eireuUttou ef any neunpaper pubUnhed In PUie County! Adeertinets wltl make a note of thin faet! TntfRRDAY, Dec. 23, 1886. The Grant menu ment fund is now $123,709.61. Mr. Bekcuek hits hard when he says he has no sympathy for an eight hour man with a fourteen-hour wife. Ct ncinnAti will be one hundred years old in 1888, and she wants both * National Conventions to ee|ybrate her centennial. While all of the States are striving to tax the sale of whiskey', it is proposed, in Congress by the protectionists to make its manufacture free. We notice that John Roach has another big lobby in Washington to prevent the passage of the Free Ship hill. Protected industiies will all have lobbies theiS after the holidays. A school for the education of illiterate convicts has been established at the Southern prison. The convicts will be given instruction in the various branches taught up'Ttfc commonschools. A r Owing to the influence that Sam Randall of Pennsylvania is able to exert, it is hardly probable that Morrison will be able to get his tariff measure before the ..House during it present session. The probability is that the IIou S. 8. Cox of New York, will succeed to the leadership eJ‘ the Democratic side of the House now held by Mr. Morrison. Mr. Cox is a good man no matter where he is placed. The Brazil Democrat says: “Senator HarrWn still, says he is a candidate for the empty honor as the Republican caucus nominee for United States Senator. Wei, who cares if he is. Gciv. Gray or some other good Democrat wilTbe elected.”

Is short, New England wants free trade on all she does not manufacture herself, arid protection on her own good'. What kind of question is the tariff that it must array one kind of business enterprise against another? Isi t sold ? If not, what tlieu. The Press labored hard last week to “fire tlfe northern heart” by republishing a falsehood concerning the appointment of Dr. Dabney. It stated plainly that the Doctor was a rebel guard at Andersonville. Dr. Dabney has never seen Andersonville, and was only a child when the prison was guarded. New Orleans wants protection on and free trade on every thing else; sugar, Ohio farmers want protection on wool, and free trade on the manufactured article of woolen goods; Pittsburg, Peuu., wants protection on all that is made of iron or steel, and wants free trade on what is manufactured; of anything else. It worries the Republicans mightily ^ that the Democrats should insist upon the maintenance of the majority of two on joint ballot in the neat Legislature, but it is very gratifying to see an earnest determination on the pirt of the Democratic members-elect to protect themselves and the party against the Republican conspiracy to extinguish that majority. Some of our Republican contemporaries are giviug the Republican party much kind and free advice. They seem to be afraid the g. o. p. wij^fe>t keep its promises. Better wait, l^»r Bro’s, till your party lias some better chance to keep or violate its promises. Columbia’s children are not* quite ready to surrender Us best interest Into the hands of a party which violates or keep its promises according to the profits realized. The policy of the Republican party la |o remove the tax from liquors Mid tobacco in order to reduce the aeetrauristfag surplus In the treasury, so that the protected barous of this country may not be damaged by a reduction of the tariff on imported articles. If there is anything that ought to be taxed to ths utmost it is liquors and tobaccos as at best they are luxnries that, we can well afford to do without and if we must bare! them, the price can not be too great.j ..1

STILL TELLING IT. Of all the insults offered to old stffdiers by this administration (and they have been many), none has been more outrageous than the AndersonviHe prison guard, as a pension examiner. There is a peculiar unfitness and special indecency in the appointment. We do not know what political inftuehce was brought to bear in favor of ItabneT’a appointment, but if the administration wanted to provide f >r him, why on earth could it not have given him some other position than pension examiner!1 An AndersonviHe prison guard passing on the pension claims of Uniou soldiers! Every old veteran from Maine to California will feel like exclaimlug, with Maebvth, “Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves shall never tremble.” It were bad enough that a man who stood guard over sick and starving Union prisoners in that hell on earth known as the Andersouvilie prison pen should bf appointed toauy position under the government, but to make him pension examiner seems the very irony of fate. No wouder old soldiers are indigwant_llvooo

If the editor of the Press were a fat man , and much troubled with overeating, we would think that he was in a turmoil of mad dreams the night before he scissored the above into his paper. Why, the Dabney lie was told thirteen mouths ago, and was denied more than teu months ago. Many of the Republican pa;>ers which copied the falsehood as th$ Press has, afterward made apology tor having reiIterated so infamous a lie about the young Dr. Dabncv. The Press man attempts to leave the impression that Dr. Dabney is employed as a p&itisau claimant, while the truth is that his appointment was not made until he had been recommended by a Republican Civil'Service Commissioner and his polities was not known to Mr. Black, who did not make the appointment uutil the above recommendation was made, as was also made another recommendation by General Street, a Republican, and a eommantlarof a post of the Grand Army of the Republic iu New Orleans. Now as to his beiug a rebel guard at Anderson ville prison. Dr. Dabney was boru in Hiuds county, Miss., May IB, 1850. From this it can be seen that Dr. Dabuey was only 11 years old when the war commenced, and was too young to be in the army, lieenever enlisted nsrebel or union soldier. He never was a guard of any k'ud, and he never saw Anrter'touville in his life. Dr. Dabuey never fired a gun at any one. Ain extract tVom a letter written bv General Black to a G. A. R. Post of Arkansas, reads as follows: • , “Dr. Dabney was appointed^ the office he now holds in this bureau afteyexitmination and certification by the United Slates Civil Service Commission more than thirteen months ago upon my selection He then was and now is a citizen of the United ^States, and on an equal fboting with every other citizen, There were uo preferred applicants tor the place to which he was appointed. He has discharged all the duties of his,Office in an able and efficient manner, as shown by the reports to me of his superior officer, the medical referee. He, has shown himself capable and honest. He is ia harmony with his lawful superiors in their views of duty and government. These things fill alike the requirements of sound judgment, of public policy, and of existing law. Dr. Dabney may remain in public office, so far as I am concerned, while these conditions exist. The foregoing statement includes the entire law of the case, but that yon may not misapprehend the wisdom of his appointment, and that you may know who and what this young mat is and has been, and that yon may know that the nature tjf your resol jtion is not true, and that your denunciation is leveled a ; one who, in 1865, was but a child, and who never saw the place you mention (Andersonville), I append certain papers for your consideration, and call your attention in conclusion to the fact that the Union soldier has Buttered no ham at Dr. Dabney’s hands in his year or more Of service, as the rneord of the Pension Bureau shows,”

ggSgggggggggBB It was hard work to keep a number of Republican members'"in line when the vote to consklbrihe Morrison bill was taken. It is dot probable that another opportunity for Tariff Reform Legislation will be offered in this session, but the conduct of those members who permitted themselves to be bullied, cajoled or bought by the Protection lobby, will prey upon their consciences, let us hope, uutil they will be compelled for there own peace of mind to atone for there wickedness wi en the Fiftieth Congress convenes. As for Randall and his gang of pretended Democrats, who are only so many cowardly traitors, they have no consciences. They are the williug agents of the band of rob Vers who have been for years, and who still are growing richer every day, from forced tribute levied upon the people. It is doubtful whether the bill to make trade dollars exchangeable at the Treasury for standard dollars ought to be passed. These coins have been gathered in for years past bv the bankers, who have taken them at a discount of from fifteen to twenty per cent. If the bill how before Cougrcss passes, large holders ef the trade dollars will make a very handsome thing out of the exchange, but the bill will be of no benefit to the people generally. The objection to the measure is that it offers a sort of premium upon the grasping greed of the banks, which took advantage of the fact that the trade dollars were not a legal tender, to depreciate them, and then bought them in with the deliberate intention of getting Congress to pasa just such a measure as is now under discussion. As rnxDiCTKO, the Senate refuses to agree to the House amendments to the Electoral Court bill, and the measure is now in Conference Committee. It Is the same old, weary fight that we have been through with for many a long ysar. The Senate wants the objection of one House to throw out the disputed Electoral returns of a State, and the House wants such returns accepted, unless both Houses, acting separtelv, agree (o reject. It would seem as If the Republican man-: agers desired to steal another I^resi-'j denev. There is very little hope that! the bill will become a law.

Internal Improvement. It is peculiar that a newspapers seldom ever say anything about the town in whieh thev are published. They are sometimes criticised for not doing so, bnt when we consider the difficulty of finding any appropriate thing to say, the fog clears away, and the reason of the difficulty becomes as “clear as mud.” (Excuse slang.) Whatever may be said upon this subject, there is no trouble arising from, nor is any mistake made bv the argument that the only true basis for the progress and prosperity of a town is internal improvement. What the town of Petersburg needs is a little more business enterprise on the part of tho business men, and a strong determination to succeed on the part ot our men who have capital which they would probable invest if they would only examine the profits which they can derive from good investment, economy, and close application to business.

Stock companies could bo formed by our citizens who have money to do business, and handsome profits would reward them. Even if they should not grow very rich individually, the improvement of the town would be sufficient reward for all the efforts they might put. forth. A butter dish factory would give employment to all the idle of this town, and a starch factory double our population, as well as the price of property, aud the price of corn for the farmer. A machine shop of one kind is an enterprise which some one could make money out of, and it is somewhat surprising that one is not already in existence here. The saw mills, threshing machines, planers and a variety of others, send work enough to other towns to make any one man and family a good living and leave handsome profits besides. We know of a Master Mechanics who would come to this town for an advancement of one thousand dollars and the ground .to set bis shops on. Some one wants te«know wh^ he should uot come for nothing if he can make a living here The answers is plain: He is not so foolish as to leave his place in the paying facto, y in which he is employed for the good of citizens in Petersburg who offer him nothing but a cold shoulder. He has a living and more where he is, and can not well aftbrd to give even a years hardship in starting new enterprises for a people who do uot appro eiate iris efforts enough to pay for the benefit of his improvements Some ’time since wo heard a sensible remark about our citizens: “They art the most courteous people I ever saw, but they are too selfish to stranger.' who propose to settle among them.* We do not think this exactly true, but it serves to illustrate our .lack ol encouragement for those who would, if encouraged, settle here in business. The law of supply and demand has nothing whatever to do with tin growth of one town while auothcr ii the same locality remains stagnant The growth of Vincennes, while Pe tersburg remains a dwarf, is not dm to law of supply and demand nor t< the country that surrounds it. Pe tersburg has enough territory and good euough. Internal improvement will increase its own papulation ol the surround'ng country. All that supply and demand can do for us can be seen from the laws o of supply and demand, which ar< about as follows: 1. An increased demand, producti remaining stationary, increases prices and makes the profits la-ger. 2. An increased supply makes prices lower and increases demanc in proportion, the profits arc smaller and the amount of business is in creased in proportion, so that th< profits to the individual remain thi same. If supply and demand can do any thing for Petersburg it must be dou« under the rules quoted above. In crease the opportunity for making s a living at honest labor, and our pop ulation will be increased and accord ingty demand will be increased. Th< supply and demand would grow nj simulaueously with rapid increase o population, till Petersburg and it: surrounding country would be a flourishing as Vincennes or Evans ville. Internal improvement and bnsi ness enterprise is all that is lacking We have a sufficiency of everything else. A sticking evidence of the reviva in trade throughout the country dur ing the year is furnished by the pro duction of pig iron. Estimates, whiql are partially based on the actual pro duction of the first seven or eigh mouths of the year, bring the outpu of 1886 up to 5,580.000 tons. This i: the largest production ever mado it the United States, and is an increasi of about 38 percent over that of 1885 which was 4,044,080 tons. The pro duction of the previous four yean shows but little variation from thi latter figure, having been 4,144,254 ; iu 1881,4,623,323 in 1882, 4,595,510 in 1883, and 4,007,868 in 1884. There wai a slight deeline in production, it wil he noticed, in each year from 1882 uj to 1885. The increase in 1886, how ever, has been so great as to put th< out put far above any previous total being double that of 1876, and more than double that of any preceding year. In connection with this increase two additional facts of significance deserve notice, namely: Prices have advanced $2 a ton in the past few months, and the stoolc of iron i n hand is much less now than it was at the beginning of the year.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat, (Rep.) Sos*r very good people are marveling that the records of the Jteveuuo Office should disclose that quite as much, if not a little more, whisky has been sold in Georgia since the prohibitory legislation than there was belore. Kansas has had the same experience.

Why true politeness, requires a generous sinsibilitv. Why people of different politics or I religion should be so mcompatable. j Why the pulpit declares that God ; • created this world for perfection in j all things, seeing nothing is perfect; ; a»d where they find any such doc- ; trine in holy writ. Lastly : Someone tell ns why mankind universally desire perfection, and immortality, and equally as universally neglect those things which lead to perfection, and to life eternal.

Hayes and John Sherman appoint'd a relic! Brigadier .General. Postmaster General of the Hutted States. The Commercial approved. Now, suppose Dabney had been a guard at Andersonvilie. floes not every old soldier know that a guard on the line was a private soldier ? The soldier’s first duty is to obey. Suppose Dabnev refused to guard prisoners. Would it not have been disobedience, followed by a drumhead court martial, and a shooting t»> death next morning? If Hayes might approval appoint the Postmaster General of the United States from among the Generals of the Confederacy, why make su '.h a fuss about appointing a Southern private?

Scrofula of Lungs Believed. I am now 49 years old, and have suffered for the last fifteen years with a lung trouble. Several members of the family on my mother's side of the house had died with consumption, and the doctors were all agreed in their opinion that I had consumption also. I had all the distressing symptoms of that terrible disease. I have spent thousands of dollars to arrest the march of this disease; 1 have employed all of the usual methikIs, not only in my own case, bnt in the treatment of other members of my family, but temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was unfit for any manual labor for several years. By chance I came into possession of a pamphlet on “Blood and Skin Diseases," from the office of Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. A friend recomihended the use of Swift's Specific, claiming that he himself had been greatly benefited by its use in some lung troubles. I resolved to try it. About four years ago I commenced to take S. S. S. according to directions I found it an invigorating tonic, and have used about fifty bottles. The results are most remarkable. My cough has left me, my strength has returned, and I weigh sixty pounds more than I ever did in my life. It has been three years since I stopped the use of the medicine, but I have had no return of the disease, and there are no pains or weakness felt in my lungs. I do the hardest kind of meehanical work, and feel as well as I ever felt since I was a boy. These, I know, are wonderful statements to make, but I am honest when I say that I owe my existence and health to-day to Swift's Specific. It is the only medicimthat brought me any permanent relief I do not say that Swift's Specific will do this iu every case, but most positively affirm that it has done this much for me, and I would be recreant to the duty I owe to suffering humanity If 1 failed to bear this cheerful testimony to the merits of this wonderful medicine.
